30. Note that in the case of two (or four) binning, four (or 16) pixels are coupled into one pixel. This procedure reduces the read-out time of the CCD chip, but decreases also the spatial resolution by a factor of 2 (or 4, respectively). The image of a moving object becomes sharper. Under certain conditions, this leads to a more precise detection of the bead position.
31. Accumulation means that the exposure time of an image is a multiple of the read-out time of the CCD chip.
